3 – Check the facts

4 – Study up!

If you’re the kind of person who needs proof that Eagle Scouts are awesome, check out this Baylor study that shows 46 ways Eagle Scouts are different from non-Scouts or Scouts who didn’t earn Eagle.

5 – Get the picture

Joseph Csatari’s latest painting celebrates “100 Years of Eagle Scouts.” Take a look, and then order your own copy for $60 to $300, depending on whether you want it on paper or canvas.

6 – Wear it with pride

Unless you work for the BSA, you might not get away with wearing your Scout uniform to work all month. But you can still show others that you’re a proud Eagle (or a proud dad or mom of one) by wearing an Eagle Scout medal or pin with your normal office attire. This ScoutStuff page has all the Eagle Scout stuff organized in one spot.

7 – Prepare for your next Eagle ceremony

Is your son or another boy in your troop just a few steps away from Eagle? You might find something helpful in one of these posts:

What do you think?

How will you celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Eagle Scout Award? If you’re an Eagle Scout, what does the honor mean to you? If you’re the parent of a current (or future) Eagle Scout, what makes the award relevant in today’s society? Leave your thoughts below!

I received my Eagle in 1981, when I was 17. I had little time to give back as I began college later that year. I did volunteer with Cubs while in college. Years after graduating and my life progressed, I was privileged to have a son. As he has gotten old enough, I recommended Cub Scouts. I think he joined because of me, but that was seven years ago, and he is now a Star scout and after years of volunteering as Den leaders, and Asst. Scoutmasters, I am now the Scoutmaster of Troop 97 in Harborcreek PA. It is one of the greatest experience of my life. I think I am having more fun than the scouts. Working with the young scouts and watching them have fun and grow is the most satisfying part of the job. If I can have a legacy, I hope it would be that I have helped some young boys become great men.
